That would be fuel for the Mr. Fusion power pack. Soon an accessory available for all cars.
That is, once I get the whole power generation thing working.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Good advice! I'm 63, and no one in my family has ever lived to 90. Yet "advisors" are still suggesting that I buy 30 year Treasury bills. I think it was much harder to get a stock broker license when I did, than it is today.

No, really! I'm serious.
It natively reads EPUB files, and acts as not a bad book reader at all.
Even if you load a reader extension on Chrome, it's really quite a poor reader, or at least the one I found is.
Never thought I'd find anything good to say about the execrable Edge, but I'm glad I did.

I recently assembled a PC for home and I noticed that Chrome took really long to load a site, first I thought that my Internet was bad, but noticed that the Wifi was working fine. And when I used edge, it loaded all sites pretty fast on the same connection. I'm starting to like it for browsing purposes. For reading, I use Sumatra PDF.

I went with Sumatra PDF too, Adobe was getting like chrome, memory hog, way too often firing off to check for updates
chrome default install has it checking EVERY 10 MINUTES for updates - I guess even google realities chrome is so bad it needs to check that often for fixes - too bad if you're on a pay-by-volume/time connection (which sometimes I am) - which is why I'll remove chrome wherever I see it, these days it's just badly done: wastes memory, these days getting slow it wastes your time, and for many now wastes money too! Google, "do no harm" - well done.
Once upon a time internet explorer was the biggest browser - because the masses had no idea how to get something better.
Now chrome is the biggest for exactly the same reason - the dumb masses have no clue how to get something better.

Chrome got bloated over time. I think MS is doing something right by keeping Edge just a browser and not making it your mother. I like the minimalist approach.

If its just a browser then why does it keep becoming my default pdf reader, something that I find intensely annoying
Not surprised but strange that other companies can no longer automatically set themselves as default but microsoft products have no such limitation
If Edge hadn't been forced on me by every update for years I might be more inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt.Edges behavior means I consider it to be malware

Not sure about that, it never went back to being the default PDF reader after I changed it. I've been using Win-10 regularly at work and at home for more than 2 years now.
|
|

I would say pretty much every major windows update has caused mine to revert to Edge for PDF and most of the earlier ones also reverted to default of Edge for browsing
To me that's malware as it is changing the configuration of your PC after it has been explicitly configured to work differently, without asking for consent

That's the trend these days, we are losing more and more control over our computers and devices. They are now services owned and run by companies, you don't really own your system anymore. That's also why we keep getting non-optional updates forced on us with "fixes" that serve the needs of the company and advertisers rather than the needs of the end users.

I'm running Win10 Pro at home -- it seems like every time MS does a major update, my settings get hosed, including default application settings.
Oddly enough, Win10 updates have also screwed up my Office default app settings. It's actually funny when opening an Excel file and Win10 asks me what application to use!
